It's not a bad book. The writing manages to drag you in and it does what it sets out to do- it tells a story awfully well. My only gripe with it is that it's terribly overrated, and it does have faults. Like I said though, it's not bad. Most people enjoy it.

Best thing about medieval history: Since everyone had pretty much the same names, they all get awesome descriptors as part of the name they're remembered by. Like instead of Edward son of Edward II, he's Edward, The Black Prince. Or like instead of Charles VI he's Charles the Mad. Or instead of Louis XIII (a problem with French kings because they pretty much all were named either Louis or Charles) Louis the Chaste (or gay depending on who you believe.) Or, even more awesome, ridiculous stuff like Charles the Bald, or Ivan the Ignorant (who was severely mentally handicapped btw.)

I have teacher orientation next week and it's starting to freak me out.

Also the GPD thing is getting old.

I see. Well, I couldn't follow the first chapter, but the second is better. Let's hope I can make through this.

My personal favorites are Louis II the Stammerer, Louis I the Debonair, Athelred the Unready, and Louis the Universal Spider

I had that happen on L4D2.
However I blame the fact that my friend, who was hosting, decided to download a sword mod in the middle of our campaign, so two out of the three of us just saw ERROR instead of the Katana. Still, it was pretty hilarious, watching a giant ERROR run down a zombie-infested hallway.

Lol, oh on PC then.

Yeah here on xbox, EVERY dedicated server game has the errors for every common.
It happened ever since the Cold Stream DLC came out.

Too bad my voice doesn't pick up in the video.. I was all "HAHAHAHAHAHA WTFFFFFFFF"

Btw I need to start playing on PC.. ugh so many cool things. But I love my small L4D crowd on xbawkz. T_____T
